You are probably NOT going psychotic. I try to explain depression and anxiety as almost the opposite of psychosis--you are almost too sane and aware of what is going on, you overanalyze and over-observe that it causes you too worry about things that are not deserving of your stress--you can't just "go with the flow."

Anyway, I would hold off on anti-psychotics. Though they do help some who are depressed and anxious, there are plenty of risks associated with them that are not associated with traditional anti-depressants. You sound like a good candidate for an MAOI (Nardil, Parnate, Marplan)--there are countless people on these boards who have little or no response to ssris and tricyclics who experience a full remission on these drugs. Just be prepared for diet restrictions and a two week washout period. This is just my opinion, I am sure others will disagree.
